Overview
Include Me helps to include in posts or pages external files usually to be shared
between different posts or pages or that contains PHP or other code that can be
compromised by the visual editor.
The use is immediate: the shortcode [includeme] is all that you need (see the documentation
on Include Me official page).
The best way to use it is to include functionalities
written in external PHP that will be rendered in post body or to include pieces of
javascript that will be hard to add with WordPress editor.
Inclusions can be rendered with IFRAME if needed to create boxes that display
external web pages.
This plugin is made of few line of code, ultralite!

Works just fine in WP6
by nullx8·3 years ago
using this plugin for forever, it just laks the feature to fetch external sources,
to accomplish this I added this in plugin.php
if (isset($attrs['url'])) {
return file_get_contents($attrs['url'], 0, stream_context_create(["http"=>["timeout"=>3]]));
}
this will fetch external URLs with the shortcode [includeme url=]
With WP6 session data is somewhat cached, which caused some issues, but overall it works just as expected.
Great replacement for EasyPHP
by sleeplessinDC·4 years ago
I tried many plugins to find a plugin that would allow me to replace my PHP includes statements with something that would work in the WordPress editor. This is the one! Using the short code [includeme file=’/filename.php’] is all you need. And it works with WordPress 5.8.2.
Last version broke my site! And no answer for the developer!
by ldeschenes·4 years ago
The developer of this plugin released a buggy version and do not even care answering the users for the last 3 weeks!!!
Too bad! This plugin used to do the job for me but not anymore.
I am switching to the “Insert page” plugin which does the job and is well manage.
Version control for pages
by rinogo·4 years ago
I use this to enable version control (Git/GitHub) of custom code in vanilla WordPress Pages. No more coding Pages in WordPress’ editor! 🎉
includeme posts
by davidjazz·4 years ago
Simple, easy to use when files are in the includeme folder.
I use it to copy posts into a page, works well, but…
It would be nice if it had an option to copy the title of the post as well.
